Law bringer in today's for honor has become obsolete, his heavy's are way to slow to hit most of the opponents he faces, either gets paired or dodge due to the amount of time the heavy finishes its swing.
Removing lawbringers hyper armor or shove was a mistake since "charging" a shove is easy to read, not to mention gryphon's shove is immediate compared to LB.
LB has become one of the worst hero's to fight in team based games, moves ate too slow, he runs out of stamina too fast, and his hyper armor was removed, he's officially the hardest to play against any new hero and any reworked / buffed hero's. Please fix this, he's a Knight in heavy armor at least give him back his hyper armor.
I agree. I have played For Honor for about 4 years now and I’ve never seen ANY kind of buff nor rework for Lawbringer. All I’ve ever seen is nerf after nerf after nerf for him. The only way you can play as him anymore is by turtling or feinting into a guard break constantly. He’s DEFINITELY one of the several characters that has been long overdue for a rework.
I also agree that he needs some changes. But LB is not the worst or hardest to play in For Honor. Yes, Shove is flawed after the HA removal, and he feels really slow most of the time, but his stamina is fine and he still have some good stuff in his kit. I'm talking about his parry punishes, stunning attacks, stamina damage, Impale on parry and things like this.
The problem with Lawbringer is that he was designed as a "counter attacker and disabler" as you can read it in-game, however his design goes against the aggressive and offense oriented direction of post CCU For Honor. He feels slow and static, you can't do that many things with him, you can't use your creativity while playing with him. He lacks neutral and chain pressure and he can be easily disabled (however he is the one, who is supposed to be the disabler). The only good thing he has is his parry punishes and the fast recoveries on Shove and on his zone. So, if you want to truly make him work you need to turtle which is not fun for the opponent and boring for the LB player.
LB requires changes which would address his bad aspects, while balancing out his defensive/counter attacker capabilities. IMO he deserves it after the constant nerfs which he received during Year 4.
I share a link with you where you can find a really detailed conversation about a possible LB rework. Feel free to read through it and add your own ideas if you have some.
